  • High Frequency

Buses follow fixed routes, meaning your campaign is seen multiple times by the same audience. This repeated exposure helps build familiarity and trust, reflected in the fact that 62% of ABC1 adults in London have noticed bus advertising in the last week.

Advertising on TfL buses is planned and delivered across a network of routes, each designed to connect key areas of the city. Campaigns are built by selecting specific routes, formats, and coverage levels based on your target audience and objectives. For example: 

  • High-footfall retail areas such as Oxford Street and the West End
  • Commuter routes across Central and Greater London
  • Residential boroughs for local targeting
  • Tourist-heavy locations like Westminster and South Bank.

As buses operate on fixed routes and timetables, your TfL bus advertising campaign benefits from consistent daily exposure. Audiences see your messaging repeatedly – whether commuting, shopping, or travelling through the city – helping to build strong brand recognition over time.
